Heat &Hot Water












You might think how easy it is to turn on the hot water faucet and get hot water. Just think what goes into the process of getting to that point in construction. As of yesterday we have heat and hot water at the log home. All bathrooms are working with hot water as of yesterday. The kitchen sink is also installed as well as the dishwasher and garbage disposal are now working. The jet whirl pool tub can now be used in the master bath. We also bought the flooring for the house and brought enough wood to install the upstairs. We have decided to install bamboo flooring in the house. Although it is a green product and is actually grass it is as hard as maple and has a hard finish that will hold up for many years. It was also much cheaper about half the price as maple. Hopefully this weekend we will be able to start installing the floor. I also started the railings for the loft and stairway

I have been working on a mock up of the railings and hope to have them roughed in by this weekend. Last Sunday I completed the granite counter top and I grouted it today. The last few day's I've been working on sanding the logs that were exposed to the rain and weather during construction. I am happy to say that it looks good after about eight hours of sanding. Four of the five doors have been installed. There is alot of finish work to complete but the big part is completed.
